lukenorris2011 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Basically finished my 6538 build, minus a insert. I have searched long and hard for a fat font insert, which are either silly priced £1000+ for the insert alone (mk2) or are in in-trustworthy locations such as Islamabad etc. Has anybody got one? No who has? Please respond or pm me! Thanks guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 You are going to have to bite the bullet & pay the going price if you want a gen (I have never seen a credible aftermarket/rep fat font insert). Best sources are the for sale sections of the gen forums & ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have this MkIII fattie on the Big Gonzo. It's faded to a blue/grey but it's a little too "blue" for my taste. This picture exaggerates the effect. If you come up with another fattie that's black and want to trade ... let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nanuq - You are joking I hope? Like 'tropical' black dials (that fade to brown due to paint issues), (naturally) bluing inserts are very collectible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendota Explorer Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Man, I love that watch. I've got the build thread over on Homage Forum bookmarked so I can drool at it on demand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukenorris2011 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hmm. I know I will. All the except able prices seems to always be in those countries you would not seem to trust. Guess I will just be patient and see what comes up Thanks again guys ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
